A Marlborough Gem from One of the Region's Most Celebrated Estates

Dog Point Vineyard is one of Marlborough's most revered addresses — founded by James Healy and Ivan Sutherland, two of the original winemaking team behind Cloudy Bay, who left to craft wines entirely on their own terms. Farming biodynamically across their estate in the Southern Valleys, Dog Point produces Sauvignon Blanc of uncommon depth and precision. This is not a wine chasing trends — it is a wine made with conviction, from vines that know their place.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale straw in the glass with a luminous green edge. The nose is immediately expressive — fresh cut grass, white grapefruit, passionfruit, and a lifted floral note that speaks to the cool Southern Valleys terroir. On the palate, the wine is taut and focused, with vibrant acidity framing flavours of citrus zest, gooseberry, and a subtle mineral thread. The finish is clean, long, and refreshing — a hallmark of Dog Point's restrained, site-driven style.

Style & Drinking Window

Light to medium-bodied with bright, mouthwatering acidity and no oak influence. Drinking beautifully now through 2027. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C. No decanting required.

Food Pairing

The vibrant citrus and herbaceous character of the 2024 Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc make it a natural match for Canadian Frozen Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet (Sashimi Grade) from My Meat Man. The wine's zesty acidity and mineral finish complement the clean, rich flavour of wild sockeye beautifully — whether served as sashimi, lightly seared with lemon butter, or baked with fresh herbs and capers.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HK$179, the 2024 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc punches well above its price point. This is a wine made by two of Marlborough's founding winemakers, farmed biodynamically, and crafted with the kind of care usually reserved for bottles costing twice as much. For everyday drinking or entertaining, it is exceptional value from one of New Zealand's most trusted estates.
